Goldschlager - where to buy it?

[_daveR]

We're after a couple of bottles to give as presents but were hesitant to order online this close to Christmas.

Does anyone know of an Off-Licence chain or Supermarket that stocks it?

[Luke85]

Could try asking your local pub if you could buy some off of them? They'll probably say no but worth a try!

[Cara Van Man]

Dont!

I have a bottle that has sat in my dining room for almost 10 years.

The only time it gets opened is when I want to 'hurt' visitors.

ETA: No use to you, but I bought mine from a US military 'BX store'

Are these people you don't like?

[randomman]

What about places like bargain booze? Or similar? They stock kmost things near me.

[lawrence567]

Go to your local "offy" or wine / beer seller?

[mmm-five]

I picked up a bottle at one of my local supermarkets (Asda, Morrisons, Tesco) within the last month. Can't remember which though, as I not a loyal customer of any, I just go to the one I'm closest to when I remember I need milk or such.

I'll try Sainsburys and the other local ones then.

lol @ being people we don't like! I just got asked by SWMBO to find some, I don't even know who they are for!

[Cara Van Man]

Have you tried it?

[randomman]

I'm surpirsed no one has mentioned the myth that it has bits of metal in yet.

I was under the impression the gold leaf in mine was real....

Nope. It sounds revolting!

[Cara Van Man]

Very sweet and extremely strong taste of cinnamon....much like that horrid chewing gum you can get.

Well the myth goes that tiny bits of gold/metal make tiny cuts in your throat so it is absorbed quicker into the blood.

Which is bks - Cant recall what the glittery stuff is now actually, used to know.

The Wiki God said:

The actual amount of gold is extremely small and serves as a sort of novelty: there is currently less than a tenth of a gram (0.1 g) of gold flakes in a 750 ml bottle of Goldschläger[1], which, as of July 9, 2008, amounts to about 3.00 USD on the international gold market.[2]

So if I became a de-golded goldschlager seller I could amass all the gold and become rich? Hmm

My thread has arrived!.

Shame your in Berkshire as im going to the wholesaler in the morning to purchase some of the gold loopy juice.

Im sure if you asked your local barkeep he could add a couple of bottles to the order.

And yes it cuts your throat, gets you drunk quicker and is unlike any other spirit in the world thats why you pay £2.50 for a thimble full oh and you must try sambucca, have you tried the 7 different flavours? honestly they don't all taste the same you must try them all
